Parametrizing torsion pairs in derived categories

We investigate parametrizations of compactly generated t-structures, or more generally, t-structures with a definable coaisle, in the unbounded derived category D ( M o d - A ) \mathrm {D}({\mathrm {Mod}}\text {-}A) of a ring A A . To this end, we provide a construction of t-structures from chains in the lattice of ring epimorphisms starting in A A , which is a natural extension of the construction of compactly generated t-structures from chains of subsets of the Zariski spectrum known for the commutative noetherian case. We also provide constructions of silting and cosilting objects in D ( M o d - A ) \mathrm {D}({\mathrm {Mod}}\text {-}A) . This leads us to classification results over some classes of commutative rings and over finite dimensional hereditary algebras.

A classification of the abelian minimal closed normal subgroups of locally compact second-countable groups

We classify the locally compact second-countable (l.c.s.c.) groups 𝐴 that are abelian and topologically characteristically simple. All such groups 𝐴 occur as the monolith of some soluble l.c.s.c. group 𝐺 of derived length at most 3; with known exceptions (specifically, when 𝐴 is \mathbb{Q}^{n} or its dual for some n\in\mathbb{N}), we can take 𝐺 to be compactly generated. This amounts to a classification of the possible isomorphism types of abelian chief factors of l.c.s.c. groups, which is of particular interest for the theory of compactly generated locally compact groups.

DISTAL ACTIONS OF AUTOMORPHISMS OF NILPOTENT GROUPS G ON SUB G AND APPLICATIONS TO LATTICES IN LIE GROUPS

For a locally compact group G, we study the distality of the action of automorphisms T of G on Sub G , the compact space of closed subgroups of G endowed with the Chabauty topology. For a certain class of discrete groups G, we show that T acts distally on Sub G if and only if T n is the identity map for some $n\in\mathbb N$ . As an application, we get that for a T-invariant lattice Γ in a simply connected nilpotent Lie group G, T acts distally on Sub G if and only if it acts distally on SubΓ. This also holds for any closed T-invariant co-compact subgroup Γ in G. For a lattice Γ in a simply connected solvable Lie group, we study conditions under which its automorphisms act distally on SubΓ. We construct an example highlighting the difference between the behaviour of automorphisms on a lattice in a solvable Lie group and that in a nilpotent Lie group. We also characterise automorphisms of a lattice Γ in a connected semisimple Lie group which act distally on SubΓ. For torsion-free compactly generated nilpotent (metrisable) groups G, we obtain the following characterisation: T acts distally on Sub G if and only if T is contained in a compact subgroup of Aut(G). Using these results, we characterise the class of such groups G which act distally on Sub G . We also show that any compactly generated distal group G is Lie projective.

Bounding the covolume of lattices in products

We study lattices in a product $G=G_{1}\times \cdots \times G_{n}$ of non-discrete, compactly generated, totally disconnected locally compact (tdlc) groups. We assume that each factor is quasi just-non-compact, meaning that $G_{i}$ is non-compact and every closed normal subgroup of $G_{i}$ is discrete or cocompact (e.g. $G_{i}$ is topologically simple). We show that the set of discrete subgroups of $G$ containing a fixed cocompact lattice $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}$ with dense projections is finite. The same result holds if $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}$ is non-uniform, provided $G$ has Kazhdan’s property (T). We show that for any compact subset $K\subset G$, the collection of discrete subgroups $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}\leqslant G$ with $G=\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}K$ and dense projections is uniformly discrete and hence of covolume bounded away from $0$. When the ambient group $G$ is compactly presented, we show in addition that the collection of those lattices falls into finitely many $\operatorname{Aut}(G)$-orbits. As an application, we establish finiteness results for discrete groups acting on products of locally finite graphs with semiprimitive local action on each factor. We also present several intermediate results of independent interest. Notably it is shown that if a non-discrete, compactly generated quasi just-non-compact tdlc group $G$ is a Chabauty limit of discrete subgroups, then some compact open subgroup of $G$ is an infinitely generated pro-$p$ group for some prime $p$. It is also shown that in any Kazhdan group with discrete amenable radical, the lattices form an open subset of the Chabauty space of closed subgroups.

Lattice of closure endomorphisms of a Hilbert algebra

A closure endomorphism of a Hilbert algebra [Formula: see text] is a mapping that is simultaneously an endomorphism of and a closure operator on [Formula: see text]. It is known that the set [Formula: see text] of all closure endomorphisms of [Formula: see text] is a distributive lattice where the meet of two elements is defined pointwise and their join is given by their composition. This lattice is shown in the paper to be isomorphic to the lattice of certain filters of [Formula: see text], anti-isomorphic to the lattice of certain closure retracts of [Formula: see text], and compactly generated. The set of compact elements of [Formula: see text] coincides with the adjoint semilattice of [Formula: see text]; conditions under which two Hilbert algebras have isomorphic adjoint semilattices (equivalently, minimal Brouwerian extensions) are discussed. Several consequences are drawn also for implication algebras.
